-storageEngineDirectoryPath "C:\Program Files\Quest\UC Analytics\Storage Engine\bin" -storageDirectoryPath "C:\Program Files\Quest\UC Analytics\Storage" -backupDirectoryPath "c:\UCA\backup" -backupLabel "label" -portNumber 7299 -numberOfBackupCopies 2 -force

The parameters that you can edit are as follows:

Table 39. Backup batch file parameters
Parameter	Default value	Required information
storageEngineDirectoryPath	C:\Program Files\Quest\UC Analytics\Storage Engine\bin	Shows the location of the storage engine. If you installed using the default values, you can leave this parameter as shown.
storageDirectoryPath	C:\Program Files\Quest\UC Analytics\Storage	Shows the location of the storage folder. If you installed using the default values, you can leave this parameter as shown.
backupDirectoryPath	c:\UCA\backup	Enter the path and folder name for the folder to which you want to copy the backup files. You can enter a UNC path if you are copying the backup files to a different server or share.
backupLabel	label	Enter a unique name to identify the storage folder and server that contains the Storage Engine data that you want to back up. For example, you could enter Store1Server1.
portNumber	7299	Port used by the Cassandra nodetool.
numberOfBackupCopies	2	Enter the number of backup copies that will be retained at any one time. The backup folders are date-stamped so if you are retaining two copies, the two newest folders are kept and any older copies are removed.

NOTE: Do not change the port number from 7299. This is the port that is used by the Cassandra nodetool.

Step 2: Run the backup batch file

Once you have edited the backup.bat file to contain your local values, you can run the file to create a backup copy of your data. The backup script automatically detects the path to the latest version of Java (Oracle or Zulu OpenJDK) that is installed on the computer.

You run the backup batch file locally on the server on which the Storage Engine resides.

To create a snapshot backup file

Ensure that all the UC Analytics services are running.

Navigate to the folder that contains the backup and restore script files.

Open the command prompt and enter:

backup.bat

The batch file creates a folder with the current date in YYYY-MM-DD format that contains subfolders with files that contain the data structure information and files that contain the actual data.

Step 3: Edit the restore batch file

Before you restore a backup file, you must edit the restore.bat file to specify the parameters for your environment. The restore.bat file looks as follows:

-backupDirectoryPath "c:\UCA\backup" -backupLabel "label" -backupDate "YYYY-MM-DD" -storageDirectoryPath "C:\Program Files\Quest\UC Analytics\Storage" -storageEngineDirectoryPath "C:\Program Files\Quest\UC Analytics\Storage Engine\bin" -portNumber 7299

The parameters that you can edit are as follows:

Table 40. Restore batch file parameters
Parameter	Default value	Required information
backupDirectoryPath	C:\UCA\backup	Enter the path and folder name for the folder to which the backup batch file previously copied the backup files.
backupLabel	label	Enter the unique name that was assigned as the backup label when the backup was created. The label name must exactly match the name that was entered in the backup.bat file when the backup was created.
backupDate	YYYY-MM-DD	Enter the date for the backup file from which you want to restore the data. The backup folder is named with the date of the backup in YYYY-MM-DD format.
storageDirectoryPath	C:\Program Files\Quest\UC Analytics\Storage	Shows the location of the storage folder. If you installed using the default values, you can leave this parameter as shown.
storageEngineDirectoryPath	C:\Program Files\Quest\UC Analytics\Storage Engine\bin	Shows the location of the storage engine. If you installed using the default values, you can leave this parameter as shown.
portNumber	7299	Port used by the Cassandra nodetool.
